Later when he was with the A's I saw him hit one that was described in the paper the next day as having cleared the ballpark, paid its toll on the Mass Pike and headed west.
Not really a great hitter when all was said and done but man the power.
I found the Fenway HR on YouTube. Probably the worst outing Clemens had that year.
